Morbius (2022)
For tonight’s feature I viewed Sony’s new release from their “Venomverse” universe, “Morbius” (2022). This marks Sony’s first addition to the Venomverse and as such the movie the finally turns that world from a playground for Symbiotes into a true shared universe.

House on Haunted Hill (1959)
For tonight’s horror viewings I have “House on Haunted Hill”. Directed by William Castle and written by Robb White.

I’m going to do something a little different with this review and review and compare two movies.

2021 Year in Review – Part I : Fan Service
2021 has been another difficult year both for people and for the movie industry. Studios weren’t really confident in their own movie’s ability to pull in an audience and many chose to send movies simultaneously to streaming. In this environment no one was really sure how to judge a movies success or failure. However by …
